reason: one of the 2 servers is down. They shoul then, until the problem is fixed, use this other server

http://64.78.185.92/

Nope that was is just as bad. Here's looking forward to a great Monday. Maybe with so many FT's out there we can locate some new servers or maybe just additional ones if that is the problem.

Sorry, Rudi, but that server is just as slow, maybe slower.

:)

the link I posted above is helping people who can't access at all - it's the only server right now that works.

It's the only and same server everyone is right now connected to, so it is exactly (100%) as slow, I did never pretend anything else.

Again, one out of normally 2 servers is down, and that's probably not only the reason why some people can't get any connection (because their browser, like mine, automatically tries to get connections with the server that is down), but also the reason why it is so slow for anyone else.

I am still confident, that the tech folks at FlyerTalk can fix this fast, once they are back from their well deserved weekend.

One of the servers seems to really dislike the scripts that rotate the logs -- which has caused this latest hiccup -- sorry for the inconvenience it caused you all!

I've disabled the script in question until I can resolve whatever the problem is.

Thanks,
John

Thanks, John!

FT Slow Right Now - 09/03/04
 

Man, we are c r a w l i n g right now, over a minute to load each page; homepage taking longer.

0930 edt

Super Slow :(

Indeed!

Mark

Yes, super slow indeed. Worried that it was just my connection.

Reminds me of the old dial-up days on a 9600 baud modem

Ditto here. Virtually unusable.

Hello there all. We are working on this now. Thanks for the heads up.

Virtually unusable here too.

Response time has been slowly degrading for me over a few days, but this morning it has taken a dramatic nose dive. Took at least 7 minutes to get to this forum and make this post.

I am glad this is a website event and not something having to do with my computer or network! Couldnt we have picked another day to be slow? Today is a very very slow day at work :(

Speed has improved :)^

:p ^

Thanks technical team!
 

Thanks, Tim. You're satisfying my FT addiction again.

^

Back up to scratch. Thanks guys!

What would life be without the tech guys at Flyertalk.

Mahalo nui loa!

aloha

More productive because we wouldn't be wasting time here. ;)

Been crawling for me the last 10 minutes, so I don't know if the fix lasted that long.

Also slower than normal for me too.

It's always slow for you, isn't it ;)

Seems OK to me on this end

I did say slower than normal. Anyway its much better now so not sure what happened.

Kiwi Flyer,

It was not just you... for about 20 minutes it was taking forever to load pages....

Now it is working fine.

William

Wouldn't that be the same as no connection then. :p

FT slow since today's scheduled maintenance?
 

I am finding FT slow since coming back online this afternoon.

Anyone else??

Same here, almost impossible to browse...

It is Super Slow.
 

It's been super slow for me. I timed how long it took to get to the reply screen after hitting reply - 45 seconds. To get new posts took 97.18 seconds.

I checked other sites to make sure it wasn't my DSL; it isn't. FT is my only slow site.

Only advantage: I've gotten work done vs. reading FT.
^ & :td: sides to situation

It's been horrible all day
 

It has been horrible all day. Like, go get a cup of coffee and start drinking it slow since this morning. Over 1 minute for each window to refresh. They need to fix this ... and quick!

It's been horrible all day

It's slow here too... :(

It is slow -- and this is temporary.

We had to take one of the servers that supports flyertalk out of service for emergency maintenance and replace it with a machine that is not optimal for flyertalk's traffic. I'll be rebuilding the server in question tomorrow and will get it back into service as soon as possible.

Please bear with us and thanks for your patience.

John

Thanks for the update, John, and sorry about the overnight work. :(

Along with the slow response, I'm getting erratic multiple responses to threads - 8 for one post by missydarling for example, and 3 notifications each for a couple of other posts.

Thanks for getting FT back on early, and thanks for the update John ^

I dont know what we'd do without your (and everyone else at HOM) hard work :)

---

Thanks John! :)

No problem! ;)

If I am notmistaken, CSI-NY is on tonight! :D

Thanks again! :)

Mark

We're looking into that -- no solution yet, unfortunately.

That is one good thing about tonight ^

Kiwi Flyer said it well! Thanks again to John and everyone else at HOM!
